Robert Plant
'The Principle Of Moments' Tour
United States and Canada 1983
Live in Vancouver, B.C.
October 1, 1983
P.N.E. Coliseum

Originally Recorded by Fred W.
ReMastered by Audioarchivist U - 101

Lineage:
Unsure of recorder and mics (maybe Marantz mics) > Fred's cassette master > unsure tapedecks for copying > cassette 1st gen taped on Sony Metal SR 90 (I used blank side 4's of my Robert Plant 1990 Vancouver and Seattle masters coming soon) > Denon DRM 500 deck for 1gen playback (azimuth adjusted) through Sentrek 12band analog EQ into Soundblaster card in my PC. Digitally ReMastered using Wavelab 4.0 with several 3rd party plugins to carefully sweeten and shape the sound. Waves converted to FLAC6 with Trader's Little Helper. Upped to The Trader's Den Jan 6, 2007.

Notes:
This is Robert Plant's last show of his North American Tour 1983. After 25 or so shows, the band was reaching and jamming and having fun. Unlike the 'safe' shows recorded for King Biscuit Flower Hour Radio in Texas a week and a half before, this concert shows Robert, Phil, Jezz, Robbie, Bob, and Paul taking risks and stretching the songs to their limits.
Fred was in row 8 dead center floor. His mics were on either end of his row. Nice stereo seperation and definition. My 1gen copy was made by me with Fred's stuff, and I think I also adjusted azimuth on the playback deck and copied it flat onto the only sections of blank tape I had - ends of other Robert Plant masters of mine. The digital ReMastering work I did from my copy was minor. I refined some live recording level adjustments Fred had originally done and I had attempted to fix while making my 1gen tape copy. Further equalization, multiband compression, slight De-Noising, final mix compression, and limiting were used tastefully to attempt to re-create the original live sound before track markers were inserted and files were converted to FLAC. This is everything that was recorded that night, including the aftershow afterglow where the crowd was walking out when suddenly over the PA came Robert screaming through the digital delay : "Push Push Push Push! Push Push Push Push Push!" from the climax of Wreckless Love! What a night this must've been. I saw this in Montreal way before I was a taper, and I wish I had seen this show instead! The peak of the tour for sure!

Disc1 : 74:09
Disc2 : 45:57

Trade or give away these original FLAC files freely. Burn to audio CDR for your friends for sure, but if they might do further trading, too, supply them with the FLAC files as well! Do not convert to MP3 files, even for your own personal use (!) and relax and enjoy.
I include photos of my tour book for your artworx. have fun printing and folding and cutting your 24 page origami masterpiece. If you make up some cool photoshop-y covers for this, please post them up at TTD, and please also email me jpegs of your results! Thanks for listening...
